They can be very effective tools for both teaching and learning.<br /><br />Come to the Media Center during our in-service day next Monday to hear esteemed Educational Social Software consultant, Steve Garwood, explain the benefits of using screencasting to enhance your teaching. After watching Steve's informative and entertaining step-by-step demonstration on how to create a screencast, everyone in attendance will get a chance to make one of their own.<br /><br />Hope to see you there!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/839327516210129355-5287844617007239631?l=anyschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jen Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07929929281482953888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839327516210129355.post-3493817120390535402008-12-16T23:10:00.000-08:002008-12-16T23:19:23.528-08:00Don't forget that we now have a <a href="http://delicious.com/anyschool" target="new">staff Delicious account</a> for bookmarking our favorite websites!<br /><br />Whenever you find a great site, be sure to add it to Delicious so that your fellow teachers can also benefit from your "discovery"!<br /><br />If you can't remember the password for this account, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">IM</span> me and I'll get it to you ASAP!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/839327516210129355-349381712039053540?l=anyschool.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jen Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07929929281482953888noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839327516210129355.post-82646233893011445572008-12-16T22:31:00.000-08:002008-12-16T22:58:05.320-08:00What books have you read lately?
